Famous Nigerian singer Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie known well as Patoranking says some artist like Mzbel, VIP, Praye and others had big records and shook the music industry.
Patoranking recounted how artists like Mzbel, Praye, VIP, Tic Tac in the past shook the music industry and also dominated the industry with hit songs in the past.
According to Patoranking, he believes these artists who built the foundation of the hiplife music did not know how they massively reigned and became popular in Nigeria and across the globe.
“When it comes to the highlights of every party and we go into that Ghana tempo, it is always a rave. I am talking about songs like Tic Tac’s Kangaroo, that was a big one.”
“Then you come to VIP, Mzbel, Praye among other great songs and you know there is a big difference between being big and hue, those were massive and big records, even down to one corner”, he stated.
“I find something funny in their reaction. People (Ghanaians) were shocked that I knew these songs. I am not sure even the artists knew how big they were then. If it was on billboards, they would be competing for the number one, number two spots,” he added whiles interacting with Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty.
“If only they knew that the best visuals, the best videos are from Ghana. Not just videos, me being a ghetto boy, you know we just do street carnivals a lot during December and parties as well,” he stated.
